Dramatically illustrated with a combination of atmospheric tableaus and photographically detailed portraits by Hans Christian Andersen Award winner Robert Ingpen, this is the story of British polar explorer Robert Scott. His valiant attempt to be the first to reach the South Pole, in 1910, was met with bitter disappointment, yet his tale has remained one of the most powerful sagas in the history of exploration, told in this oversized picture book for readers 8 and up.
